Fastjet has announced the first fastjet flight between Dar es Salaam
in Tanzania and Lusaka in Zambia was successfully completed.
The event marks the launch of the low-cost airline’s second international route in Africa.
Sales have been exceedingly strong since the launch of this route in early January, and the first flight from Lusaka was full.
Services between Lusaka’s Kenneth Kaunda International Airport and
Dar es Salaam’s Julius Nyerere International Airport will initially
operate twice a week.
fastjet expects to increase the frequency of flights on this route in
line with consumer demand, as more people make use of its safe,
affordable and on-time service.
Commenting on this new route, Ed Winter, interim chairman and chief
executive of fastjet, said: “fastjet has been able to expand its
international network by working closely with the governments of
Tanzania and Zambia, who understand and value the positive impact that
low-cost air travel can have on the lives of their citizens and the
general economy.
“With their help in making this new route possible, we have added
momentum to fastjet’s vision of democratising air travel on the African
continent.
“We believe that this will lead to more affordable fares and greater
cost efficiencies for passengers, businesses and governments.”
